Health Services: Great Yarmouth
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that patients in Great Yarmouth receive equal access to NHS services.
Answered by Karin Smyth
As part of the 10-Year Health Plan we are focusing the role of integrated care boards (ICBs) on strategic commissioning to improve population health. NHS England has published the Strategic Commissioning Framework which supports the development of care models that are better matched to local needs, improved access to appropriate services, and a stronger focus on population health and reducing inequalities.
As outlined in our 10-Year Health Plan, neighbourhood health plans will be created, including for the Norfolk and Waveney ICB, which covers Great Yarmouth.
